Studies of plant and soil nematodes. 2. Queensland host records of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne species)

Abstract

Meloidogyne species which have been found in Queensland are M. javanica (Treub) Chitwood, M. arenaria (Neal) Chitwood, M. hapla Chitwood, and M. incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood. Within these species there are distinct physiological races. The record are presented in two sections. In the first the hosts are arranged in alphabetical order with data on nematode parasite, maximum severity of infestation observed, locality, and susceptibility of test plants; in the second the relevant hosts are listed under each of the Meloidogyne species. The host list includes 269 species in 62 botanical families. Many of these are new records.
